Recent research proves that the integration of CoMOF-BTA particles in polyurethane coatings enables a significant improvement in corrosion protection properties.

CoMOF-BTA, a new metal-organic framework with inherent corrosion inhibition ability was prepared via a one-step solvothermal process and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermal analyses. Immersion and polarization tests were conducted to evaluate the ability of CoMOF-BTA to resist corrosion on AA2024-T3 alloy in NaCl solution. In addition, CoMOF-BTA particles were incorporated into polyurethane coatings to produce active anti-corrosion coatings, whose corrosion protection capabilities were assessed using electrochemical methods and salt spray analysis.

The impedance results show that polyurethane coatings containing CoMOF-BTA have coating resistances (Rcoat) that are around two orders of magnitude higher than that without the CoMOF-BTA particles. The salt spray analysis also indicates the corrosion protection ability of coatings containing CoMOF-BTA particles after a long period of exposure. The results demonstrate that CoMOF-BTA improved the ability of AA2024-T3 to resist corrosion and confirm the anti-corrosion properties of CoMOF-BTA-laden coatings by the controlled release of BTA molecules in NaCl solution. This study offers a new anti-corrosion MOF material and active coating for the protection of aluminum alloys against corrosion.

* As theses candle jars have undergone a water soluble paint finish, (rather than a solvent finish) they are more prone to scratching, so please take care when handling the jars. Washing, soaking and immersing the candle jars in soapy water will soften and deteriorate the finish. Use only a DRY – soft cloth (microfibre is best) to remove dust, prior to filling. The water soluble paint finish performs just like coloured glass during burning.

To understand a Brick Making Machine, we must first understand the composition of the brick machine. The brick machine is composed
of: main machine, cloth machine, plate feeder, mold, pump station, computer control system. The main function of the machine is to carry the main body of the brick machine. Supports all auxiliary equipment from top to bottom and from
back to front. The cloth machine plays the role of feeding cloth, which can
fully feed the raw materials into the mold. The mold is necessary for each type
of brick. The sheet feeding machine plays the role of turning the pallet and sends the board to the bottom of the mold. Then, the finished product is sent from the bottom of the mold to the transport vehicle. The pump station is the
heart of the hydraulic system. It is the driving force for each control. The
computer is the brain of the whole brick machine, which is the core. All the movements have their own control computer completed.

Here’s a riddle for you:

They’re hailed by fans as the currency of the future and criticized by some personal finance experts as a dangerous creation.

Can you guess what it is?

Correct, it’s cryptocurrencies.

They’ve recently made headlines after bitcoin crashed about 17% in less than 24 hours, to the delight of many crypto haters who have been ranting on about its volatility for years.

Ever since the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto published the bitcoin white paper in 2009, digital currencies have been wrapped up in controversy.

While tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft are increasingly getting involved in cryptocurrencies and even developing their own (hello Facebook), some state regulators are cracking down on crypto exchanges, pointing at their extreme volatility and speculative nature.

In this article we explain:

• How cryptocurrencies work
• What makes digital currencies so volatile
• Is it safe to put all your money in crypto
• How to protect your portfolio from crypto volatility

What are cryptocurrencies, and how do they work?

The concept of cryptocurrencies is not as complicated as it might look. After all, most of us are familiar with transferring money from one online bank account to another.

In fact, cryptocurrencies operate like normal paper currencies, but with several notable differences:

• Cryptocurrencies are peer-to-peer payment methods (just like a dollar or euro bill is, except digital), without the banks taking a cut of every transaction.
• There is no physical version of digital money.

Most cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin, ethereum or cardano, use blockchain technology, which is crucial for maintaining a secure and decentralized record of transactions.

How did cryptocurrencies start?

Bitcoin was the first blockchain-based cryptocurrency and still remains the most popular and most valuable to this day.

Since the creation of bitcoin more than a decade ago, the number of existing cryptocurrencies has expanded to over 8,000.

Their total value has recently topped $2.4 trillion, rivaling the two most valuable companies in the world, Apple and Microsoft, and amassing over 200 million users.

But like with almost any asset, there are those who love crypto and those who hate the very idea of it.

What are the pros and cons of cryptocurrencies?

Cryptocurrencies are often criticized for a number of reasons. Mainly it’s because they’re considered too volatile, or a fad, or because of their use in some illegal activities.

But many also praise them for their portability, their transparency, and their divisibility.

Supporters of cryptocurrencies say they make it easier to transfer funds directly between two parties, without the need to use a third party like a credit card company or bank.

Many crypto enthusiasts see digital assets as the future of finance as they allow transactions to sidestep third parties and are not controlled by any government.

Critics, however, usually point at the semi-anonymous nature of crypto transactions which makes them well-suited for some illegal activities, such as tax evasion and money laundering.

But the main risk, according to critics, is their speculative nature and the persistent and extreme swings in the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

And this very volatile nature is precisely what makes some investors think these young currencies might not last, as they struggle to stabilize.

As Bill Gates once said, “I do think people get bought into these manias who may not have as much money to spare. So I’m not bullish on Bitcoin. My general thought would be that if you have less money than Elon [Musk], you should probably watch out.”

What makes crypto so volatile?

From the very beginning, the story of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has been one of investors looking at their price going up and down from a few pennies in value to tens of thousands of dollars per token… and down again.

This tendency could be explained by the fact that, when the price of an asset rises very quickly, a crash is usually much more likely to happen in the future.

While some of these crashes are simple “price corrections”, a moderate adjustment in the price of an asset after a rapid increase, some are just sheer drops.

It looks like that’s been the situation of bitcoin throughout its 13 years of existence. The world’s biggest cryptocurrency has still not gotten past its tendency for dramatic ups and downs in price.

And 2021 was no exception.

This year, Bitcoin has been on a rollercoaster ride, rising and falling sharply on the back of a number of news stories, from Donald Trump calling bitcoin a “scam against the dollar” to El Salvador making it a legal tender.

Here’s the summary:

• 16 December 2020: bitcoin price hits $20,000 per coin for the first time.
• 13 April 2021: bitcoin price hits a record high of $63,375.
• 22 June 2021: price falls below $30,000 for the first time in 5 months.
• 23 August 2021: bitcoin price returns to above the $50,000 mark
• 20 October 2021: value goes up to $67,000.
• 27 October 2021: price crashes to $58,000.
• 5 November: bitcoin reaches record high of $68,521.

Finally, the latest price drop happened at the start of December 2021, with Bitcoin losing around 17% of its value in a matter of hours, going down from $57,000 to around $47,000, before partially recovering.

Some explained this sudden drop by the general downturn in global stocks caused by the uncertainty around the new Omicron variant of the Covid virus and the high inflation levels plaguing most countries.

But, as Mark Northway, investment manager at Sparrows Capital says, the general problem with cryptocurrencies is that their price is not based on any intrinsic value but determined by only one thing: confidence.

In other words, if you decide to buy crypto, you should be prepared for a bumpy ride.

Take a look at the chart that compares the annualized weekly volatility of different assets in 2021. It pretty much speaks for itself:

Can I lose all my money in crypto?

As we’ve seen, crypto can be very volatile and risky, unlike more conventional investments like the stock market or safe-haven assets such as precious metals.

In general, investment analysts outline three main ways you can lose your money with bitcoin:

• The value drops and you sell: crypto is volatile, and its price largely determined by investor sentiment, which means that many crypto investors tend to sell out of fear during a drop. So you can lose your money if you end up selling for less than you bought it for.
• Your memory can play tricks on you: experts estimate 20% of all cryptocurrency has either been forgotten about or lost, according to Crypto data firm Chainalysis. So make sure you remember all your passwords and keys!
• Cyber crime: according to Atlas VPN, scammers and hackers are believed to steal around $10million worth of cryptocurrency every day. Your cryptocurrencies should be stored in secure ledgers or with reliable partners.

But like with any other investment, making a profit with cryptocurrencies depends on what price you buy and sell them for.

This seems like a no-brainer to most, but with the high level of speculation and daily trading associated with cryptocurrencies, many investors lose track of this very simple concept.

They buy and sell crypto out of fear of loss or fear of missing out (known as FOMO), without taking into consideration the price at which they buy and the duration of their holding.

Here’s an example:

• If you had bought some bitcoin at the beginning of 2020 and sold them on 31 December 2020, you would have made roughly a 300% profit.
• If you had invested in bitcoin in early 2018 and sold out on 31 December 2018, you would have made a 70% loss.

The bottom line is, and we all agree with experts on this one: before investing, it’s important to do your due diligence and avoid pinning all your hopes on one asset, especially one as volatile as cryptocurrencies.

How do I protect myself from Bitcoin volatility?

According to many personal finance experts, one way to avoid steep losses from your crypto investment is to spread your money around and back it up with more stable investments like physical gold and precious metals.

One of their main arguments is that gold has maintained its value through centuries and has traditionally been used by investors to protect their portfolios from risk.

According to George Milling-Stanley, chief gold strategist at State Street’s SPDR ETFs, gold has a track record of improving risk-adjusted returns over longer time periods — “the holy grail of any asset allocator.”

As Milling-Stanley puts it: “The historical promise of gold to investors has always been twofold: one, that over the long term — and I stress this, over the long term — gold can improve your returns and it can also help to reduce your volatility.”

Why? The chart below explains it quite well.

Compared to bitcoin’s extreme volatility and steep price drops, the gold price has been quite stable, and even moved up steadily, over the past few years. That’s why, balancing up a more risky asset with a more stable one could help protect you from potential losses.

(Read our SPOTLIGHT article Should You Buy Gold or Bitcoin to learn how they can act as complementary assets in an investment portfolio).

So, if you’re planning to get on the crypto rollercoaster any time soon, make sure you’re ready for the potential risks ahead by going through this simple checklist:

• Remember to avoid buying or selling out of fear or FOMO.
• Make sure you store your crypto in a secure place or exchange.
• Protect yourself from volatility.

If you haven’t checked that last box, now could be a good time to buy gold before embarking on your crypto journey.

Are you thinking about a career in the automotive industry? It’s one of the largest industries and has a variety of job possibilities to choose from.

Technology advances have transformed the auto industry. With the push for electric and hybrid vehicles, there’s never been a better time to start a career in this field.

If you’re looking for tips on how to get started in the automotive industry, we can help!

Here’s a three-step guide to automotive careers.

1. Understand Automotive Careers

Due to the complexity and size of the automotive industry, there are a myriad of careers in automotive available. Automobiles are complex machines.

Every vehicle requires expert designers, engineers, mechanics, planners, and more. By the time a vehicle is ready to sell, hundreds of people have played a role.

There are highly technical jobs in this industry. Many require specific qualifications, including automotive technology careers.

It’s a good idea to do a little research on the position before you apply. Some careers in automotive are easier to get into.

Car salesmen are often trained on the job and require no previous experience. The best advice is to read about the job options and the training you need to obtain a position in the industry.

2. Reach Out to Employers

If you want a job, you have to put in the effort. Don’t wait for a job to be advertised.

Instead, go shake some hands and introduce yourself. Today’s employers still value initiative.

Whether you’re applying at a car factory or dealership, you want to emphasize why you would make a great addition to their team. If you’re applying for a sales position, remember to demonstrate confidence and knowledge of the product.

Not all dealerships will have open positions. Meeting people can help you make a good impression on a potential future employer.

Micro molding is a specialized form of plastic injection molding for making parts on a very small scale. How small? Finished components can easily weigh less than 1 g and measure smaller than 1 mm in cross-section.

How can this help you? To understand the many benefits of micro molding for small plastic parts, we should first look at how this process differs from conventional plastic injection molding. Then we’ll be able to understand the applications it’s best suited for, especially in medicine and related diagnostic and healthcare products.

Size Matters

Plastic injection molding machines are rated by the clamping force used to hold the two halves of the mold together. Even small conventional machines have a clamping force of at least 50 tons. That’s the maximum amount of injection pressure such a machine can withstand until the mold is forced open, which causes flashing and can damage the mold tool. So operators keep the pressure below this threshold, but not much below. That’s because if the pressure is reduced too low, there won’t be enough force to fill the mold before the resin solidifies.

Can Big Machines Make Small Parts?

It’s technically possible to use a big machine to make very small parts. But it’s not a very smart choice.

Small parts use smaller molds, and these have equally small cavities, gates, and runners. Such tools, and the resulting parts that they make, are highly sensitive to fine adjustments in pressure or temperature. But larger machines are more difficult to control precisely. Relatively speaking, it’s like using a sledgehammer to make a swiss watch.

And using a large machine to make small parts is a waste of resources because they have larger barrels with a big volume of molten resin. During one cycle, only a small amount of resin is used in each shot. The remaining resin is in the barrel, staying hot for too long. This causes the resin to degrade and can ruin the part. Smaller machines avoid this problem because they have faster cycle times and shorter barrels.

Finally, bigger machines also consume more electrical power, regardless of the size of the finished part. These operating costs are then passed along to the customer, further decreasing process efficiency.

What Are The Advantages of a Micro Molding Machine?

Miniature injection molding machines, such as our Babyplast 10/12, operate at 10 tons of clamping force at most. For a product developer, these machines represent five distinct advantages when making small parts.

1. Mold tools are much smaller and thus less expensive, costing approximately 40% of the price of a full-sized tool.
2. Micro molding consumes much less raw material. This includes not the only material used to make the part but also leftover resin in the gate and runner system as well as the barrel.
3. Fast changeovers are aided by using an online digital database that can hold one thousand unique job set-up parameters. And it’s also easier and faster to flush old resin out of the system to prepare the machine for a different material.
4. Hot runner systems are used to precisely control the temperature of the mold during production.
5. Faster cycle times. Micro molding machines have short, compact barrels, and the gates and runners are also of short length. Therefore even multi-cavity molds can be cycled much more quickly than their larger counterparts.

Are There Challenges for Micro Molding?

There are a few areas where micro-sized parts pose a greater challenge for the molder.

1. Small cavities with tiny features and thin walls are harder to machine into the tool steel. That’s why we use NAK80 or H13 polished stainless steel to make small mold tools. These steels have a fine grain with a dense molecular structure so we can use our multi-axis CNC machines to make fine features with high accuracy and tight tolerances.
2. Resins behave differently when micro-molding compared to their full-sized counterparts. This is because resins experience high shear forces as they are forced to fill very small cavities quickly. Since sheer is closely related to resin temperature and injection pressure, it’s important to use dedicated micro-machines that can be adjusted with fine gradations to achieve optimal results.

Measuring Small Parts

Ultimately it’s not possible to make small parts reliably unless they can be measured reliably. That’s why we have advanced 3D scanners and coordinate measuring machines that we use at every critical step to constantly monitor physical dimensions. And of course, this same careful attention to detail is used to make the mold tools.

What are Micro Parts Used For?

One of the fastest-growing markets for microdevices is the medical field. Some components can be quite small but relatively simple, while others conceal great complexity in a very small space.

What’s most important is that hospitals, insurance companies, and patients are all interested in limiting as much as possible any invasive procedures inside the body. And everyone also wants to control costs. Therefore, there is constant pressure to develop new products on a small scale that offer diagnostic and therapeutic remedies that don’t require surgery. To do this, advanced applications combine passive enclosures with sophisticated electronics, sensors, and mechanical actuators to create an entirely new class of healthcare devices.

Some devices are injected into the bloodstream or placed under the skin where they monitor many bodily functions. Other sophisticated mini-machines might use microfluidic pumps to deliver small doses of medicine. They can be made from bioabsorbable materials that naturally dissolve inside the bloodstream, or automatically send alerts to doctors or other caregivers should any health conditions fall outside a predetermined range of values.

Is Micro Molding Right For Your Next Project?

The range of potential applications is constantly expanding and is only made possible with advanced manufacturing solutions that support the latest product designs.

In-Source Metal Milling For Your Dental Lab

Technology that allows small to moderate sized labs to mill their own PFMs understructures, custom abutments and implant bars has matured significantly in the past few years. Not long ago, an average lab had to choose to either paying top dollar to have a large company mill these types of units, or go through the labor intensive process of casting. Today, a wide variety of milling equipment has become available which has unlocked the ability for CAD/CAM savvy labs to be more self-sufficient and profitable; however, there is still some uncertainty when it comes to when this is an appropriate and prudent step to take. In this post, we’ll focus on three key-indicators that your lab is ready to take its milling game to the next level.
